The Glory of God in His Goodness to Israel
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song.
1Let ⚓God arise,
Let His enemies be scattered;
Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.
2⚓As smoke is driven away,
So drive them away;
⚓As wax melts before the fire,
So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3But ⚓let the righteous be glad;
Let them rejoice before God;
Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.
4Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
⚓Extol Him who rides on the clouds,
⚓By His name Yah,
And rejoice before Him.
5⚓A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.
6⚓God sets the solitary in families;
⚓He brings out those who are bound into prosperity;
But ⚓the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7O God, ⚓when You went out before Your people,
When You marched through the wilderness,
Selah
8The earth shook;
The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;
Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9⚓You, O God, sent a plentiful rain,
Whereby You confirmed Your inheritance,
When it was weary.
10Your congregation dwelt in it;
⚓You, O God, provided from Your goodness for the poor.
11The Lord gave the word;
Great was the company of those who proclaimed it:
12“Kings⚓ of armies flee, they flee,
And she who remains at home divides the spoil.
13⚓Though you lie down among the sheepfolds,
⚓You will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver,
And her feathers with yellow gold.”
14⚓When the Almighty scattered kings in it,
It was white as snow in Zalmon.
15A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan;
A mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
16Why do you fume with envy, you mountains of many peaks?
⚓This is the mountain which God desires to dwell in;
Yes, the Lord will dwell in it forever.
17⚓The chariots of God are twenty thousand,
Even thousands of thousands;
The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place.
18⚓You have ascended on high,
⚓You have led captivity captive;
⚓You have received gifts among men,
Even from⚓the rebellious,
⚓That the Lord God might dwell there.
19Blessed be the Lord,
Who daily loads us with benefits,
The God of our salvation!
Selah
20Our God is the God of salvation;
And ⚓to God the Lord belong escapes from death.
21But ⚓God will wound the head of His enemies,
⚓The hairy scalp of the one who still goes on in his trespasses.
22The Lord said, “I will bring ⚓back from Bashan,
I will bring them back ⚓from the depths of the sea,
23⚓That your foot may crush them in blood,
⚓And the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”
24They have seen Your procession, O God,
The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25⚓The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after;
Among them were the maidens playing timbrels.
26Bless God in the congregations,
The Lord, from ⚓the fountain of Israel.
27⚓There is little Benjamin, their leader,
The princes of Judah and their company,
The princes of Zebulun and the princes of Naphtali.
28Your God has ⚓commanded your strength;
Strengthen, O God, what You have done for us.
29Because of Your temple at Jerusalem,
⚓Kings will bring presents to You.
30Rebuke the beasts of the reeds,
⚓The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples,
Till everyone⚓submits himself with pieces of silver.
Scatter the peoples who delight in war.
31⚓Envoys will come out of Egypt;
⚓Ethiopia will quickly ⚓stretch out her hands to God.
32Sing to God, you ⚓kingdoms of the earth;
Oh, sing praises to the Lord,
Selah
33To Him ⚓who rides on the heaven of heavens, which were of old!
Indeed, He sends out His voice, a ⚓mighty voice.
34⚓Ascribe strength to God;
His excellence is over Israel,
And His strength is in the clouds.
35O God, ⚓You are more awesome than Your holy places.
The God of Israel is He who gives strength and power to His people.
Blessed be God!

1Vajtswv sawv tsees ua rau nws
cov yeebncuab khiav ri sua.
Cov neeg uas ntxub Vajtswv yuav
swb thiab khiav tsis yeej ua nws ntej.
2Vajtswv ntiab lawv tawm ib yam li
cua ntsawj tej pa taws,
thiab ib yam li hluavtaws txhiab ciab
ntab yaj;
yog li ntawd, cov neeg siab phem

thiab nws tso cov neeg raug txim

tiamsis cov neeg ntxeev siab yuav

7Vajtswv, thaum koj coj koj haivneeg,
thiab thaum koj tawm mus hla tiaj suabpuam
8lub ntiajteb ua zog koog thiab lub
ntuj tso nag laub lug los,

11Tus TSWV yog tus hais tej lus no
thiab muaj coob leej coj mus qhia:
12“Cov vajntxwv thiab lawv tej tubrog
khiav mus lawm!”
Cov pojniam uas nyob hauv tsev
muab tej khoom uas txeeb tau los sib faib:
13tej tis nquab puavleej vuam nyiaj
thoob plaws,
thiab tej plaub tis puavleej vuam tej

(Vim li cas hnub uas tabtom ntaus
rog nej qee leej mus nkaum hauv tej nkuaj yaj?)
14Thaum Vajtswv tus uas muaj
hwjchim loj kawg nkaus
raws cov vajntxwv tawg ri sua, nws
ua kom muaj daus los rau saum Roob Zalemoos.
15Lub roob hauv lub nroog Npasas yog
lub roob uas loj siab, lub roob ntawd
muaj ntau lub ncov.
16Tej ncov roob loj siab, vim li cas
koj khib siab
thiab saib tsis taus lub roob
uas Vajtswv xaiv ua nws qhov chaw nyob?
Tus TSWV yeej yuav nyob saud mus ibtxhis li.
17Nws cov tsheb nees ntau txhiab ntau vam lub,
nrog tus TSWV nqis saum roob Xinais los
rau hauv nws qhov chaw dawbhuv.
18Thaum koj mus rau saum ntuj uas
yog qhov chaw siab,
koj coj cov neeg uas raug luag ntes
coob leej nrog koj mus,
koj tau txais tej khoom pub ntawm tej neeg,
thiab txawm yog cov neeg ntxeev
siab rau koj los muab khoom pub rau koj.
Tus TSWV uas yog Vajtswv yuav nyob saud.
19Cia li qhuas tus TSWV, nws yog tus
uas ris peb lub nra
ib hnub dhau ib hnub, nws yog
Vajtswv tus uas cawm peb dim ntag.
20Peb tus Vajtswv yog tus Vajtswv uas
cawm peb dim,
nws yog tus Vajtswv, peb tus TSWV
uas cawm peb dim ntawm txojkev tuag.
21Vajtswv yeej yuav muab nws cov
yeebncuab taubhau tsoo kom tawg,
lawv yog cov neeg uas tsis kam thau
hau tawm ntawm lawv tej kev txhaum li.
22Tus TSWV hais tias, “Kuv yuav coj
nej cov yeebncuab tawm
hauv Npasas rov qab los, kuv yuav coj lawv tawm
hauv qab thu hiavtxwv qhov uas tob tshaj plaws los;
23yog li ntawd, nej thiaj raus kotaw rau
hauv yeebncuab cov ntshav,
thiab nej tej dev thiaj tau yaim tej
ntshav ntawd.”
24Vajtswv, sawvdaws puavleej pom
koj cov neeg mus ua tsheej pab,
Vajtswv uas yog kuv tus vajntxwv,
koj cov neeg mus ua tsheej kev rau hauv koj lub tuamtsev.
25Cov hu nkauj mus ua ntej, cov ntaus
nkauj nogncas mus ua qab,
thiab cov hluas nkauj uas ntaus
nruas tuaj nruab nrab.
26“Nws haivneeg uas tuaj sablaj ua ke
cia li qhuas Vajtswv;
tagnrho Yakhauj cov xeebntxwv cia
li qhuas tus TSWV!”
27Npeenyamees yog cov uas xub los,
lawv yog xeem tsawg tshaj plaws,
ces cov Yudas tej thawjcoj thiaj los
nrog lawv pab ntawd,
cov Xenpuloos thiab cov Nathalis tej
thawjcoj thiaj tawm raws qab.
28Vajtswv, qhia koj lub hwjchim rau peb,
lub hwjchim uas koj tau siv tuaj peb tog.
29Rau qhov koj lub Tuamtsev nyob
hauv lub nroog Yeluxalees,
cov vajntxwv thiaj nqa khoom tuaj pub rau koj.
30Cia li cem cov tsiaj qus uas nkaum
tom tej hav tauj npaig,
cia li cem cov heev nyuj uas nyob
nrog cov menyuam nyuj uas yog txhua haivneeg,
mus txog thaum lawv qhau cev pe
thiab muab nyiaj fij rau koj.
Thov muab cov neeg uas nyiam ua
tsov ua rog ntiab tawm mus!
31Cov xeebcom yuav tuaj nram
tebchaws Iziv tuaj,
cov neeg Ethi-aupias yuav tsa lawv tej
tes thov Vajtswv.
32Txhua lub tebchaws hauv ntiajteb no,
cia li hu nkauj qhuas Vajtswv, hu
nkauj txhawb nqa tus TSWV,
33qhuas tus uas nyob saum nruab ntug
uas yog lub ntuj uas ibtxwm nyob thaum ub los.
Cia li mloog nws lub suab nthe nyooj
laws uas muaj hwjchim.
34Tshaj tawm Vajtswv lub hwjchim,
nws lub koob meej nrov ncha thoob
plaws haivneeg Yixalayees,
nws lub hwjchim puv nkaus saum nruab ntug.
35Vajtswv tus uas txaus ntshai nyob hauv nws lub tuamtsev
uas yog cov Yixalayees tus Vajtswv!
Nws muab lub zog loj zog nchav
thiab lub hwjchim pub rau nws haivneeg.
Cia li qhuas Vajtswv!
